A recent report from KPMG and the Renewable Energy Association provides a roadmap for achieving a stable and sustainable post-subsidy future for the PV industry.

The report called UK solar: beyond subsidy, details how solar has become the most popular renewable energy technology in the UK along with its impressive cost reduction in the past decade.

It models different scenarios to grid parity in the next five years, enabling the industry to continue to develop as subsidies are gradually phased out. It also highlights the importance of continued government support so that the industry, which includes many small and medium sized enterprises, will be able to reach grid-parity.

Director of the BRE National Solar Centre Jonny Williams says ‘This report clearly demonstrates the value that PV is currently bringing to the UK and can continue to deliver in the future under strong government leadership. Its recommendations for achieving a stable future without subsidies for the industry are practical and achievable.’
